This month’s Who’s Who on Boones Ferry Road features Naomi’s Lampshades and Lamps!

Established in 1942 in Lake Oswego, Naomi’s Lampshades and Lamps is a local, independently owned, full-service lamp and lampshade store, providing one-of-a-kind high-quality lamps and accessories. With over 8,000 lampshades available – and all American made – Naomi’s is the biggest lampshade supplier on the west coast. They also provide expert lamp repair and restoration, parts and accessories for all your lamp products (including the largest supply of finials), and custom lampshade and lamp design – often incorporating sentimental parts supplied by customers.

Naomi’s owners, Celina and Mark Williams, have operated the business for seven years, following from three previous owners who all retired at the store over its 77 year operation. They feel fortunate to operate a business that has been in the community for such a long time, having served multiple generations of Lake Oswego and Oregon residents.

Celina has a special love for design. She particularly enjoys making her customers’ dream projects a reality. A fan of fixing anything and everything, Mark enjoys repairing lamps (and often other items!), but also making new and unique products. There is a running joke among Naomi’s customers that if Naomi’s cannot fix it, no one can.

Naomi’s staff have made some quirky and unique projects in their time, including incorporating baby shoes, glass cups, and shotguns or even making an Adam’s Family themed lamp for a Halloween party. One of their most spectacular projects was fixing and restoring the Swarovski crystal candelabras and lighting for the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in downtown Portland. Mark’s most memorable repair was restoring a chandelier to its original shape and beauty that was damaged during Hurricane Katrina.

Celina and Mark are looking forward to the new, fresh look the Boones Ferry Road project will bring to Lake Grove and to serving the new residents moving to the community.

At Naomi’s, they say that if you stand in the store long enough, they can turn you into a lamp! So come on by, bring in your old lampshade for a refresh, or see if they can make something special incorporating a sentimental item from your childhood or a unique keepsake! The friendly staff at Naomi’s are here to help make your dream project a reality!

They are also participating in our monthly Shop Lake Grove raffle, so be sure to drop off an entry card in the box.

This month’s Who’s Who on Boones Ferry Road features Healthy Pet!

Healthy Pet is a local, independently owned, holistic pet supply store that has been in business – on Boones Ferry Road – since 1986! They specialize in providing premium foods and high quality products that you may not find at the bigger box stores. Women owned and operated, Healthy Pet prides themselves on having passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and long-standing staff members who are here to help provide solutions and give advice (with a side of therapy!) to customers and their pets.

Kate Bisturis, one of the managers at Healthy Pet, has worked there for 13 years. She grew up in Lake Oswego, attended Lakeridge High, and Healthy Pet was her first full time employer. Kate is proud she has been part of the Healthy Pet family for so long, seeing it grow and develop as an independent, small business in the community of Lake Oswego.

Healthy Pet loves supporting the people and pets of Lake Oswego. They particularly appreciate their incredible customers who are willing to go above and beyond for their personal pets, but also their store pets.

Tofu is their latest store kitty, and she has a special story. She came to Healthy Pet from a shelter in Chehalis, Washington. She was 14 and had hyperthyroidism. Within a month of getting her, their incredible customers came together to raise enough money to have a special radioactive iodine treatment to help her. Thanks to the community, she is now doing fabulously and continues to enjoy ruling over the store and spreading kitty love to all!

So far during construction, Healthy Pet has appreciated having the blue signage to designate where business driveways are to help customers continue to access their store. Having been located right on the corner of Boones Ferry Road and Bryant for more than 30 years, they have seen how congested that intersection can get, and at times, daunting. They are looking forward to having that intersection improved for the safety and access of the traveling public.

The Holidays are a special time of the year at Healthy Pet! Stop by to check out their cute toys, apparel and holiday treats! They are also participating in our monthly raffle, so be sure to drop off an entry card in the box!

Founded by Dr. Donald Palmer in the 1970’s, the Olson Pediatric Clinic has been operating in the same Lake Grove location for that entire period. They have a warm and friendly atmosphere, and a caring approach to medicine. The clinic has a long-standing relationship with their patients – many original patients now also bring their kids in as patients.

Currently, the clinic features six providers: Dr. Vinaya Pai, Dr. Barbara Sniffen, Dr. Elizabeth Graff, Dr. Meri Harper, Dr. Brian Kittams, and Dr. Jeffrey Hoffman. These pediatricians provide personalized care with each of their patients and families.

The Olson Pediatric Clinic provides great access – open 364 days a year, weeknights until 7 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., and most holidays. There is an on-site laboratory at the clinic, and they can offer longer appointments for more complex concerns if needed.

Safety is paramount and the clinic is particularly looking forward to better pedestrian access for their patients and families, and safer access for cyclists with the Boones Ferry Road project improvements. Their young patients have been enjoying seeing all the construction equipment, so we dressed up their minion mascot with a safety vest and hard hat as a reminder to be safe and seen!
